Located in Paris’ 12th arrondissement – between Bastille and Nation – this comfortable apartment away from the tourist crowds offers comfort, style and easy access to public transport options to make city exploring a breeze. Step inside to be met with wood floors, large windows and pared-back contemporary decor in the open-plan living area. We love the cushioned window seat that beckons evenings perched here with a glass of French wine, while the bedrooms with their en-suites ensure a good night’s sleep and a relaxing wake-up are all but guaranteed. When you’re ready to explore, make a beeline for Place de la Bastille or head towards the banks of the Seine or Parc de Bercy for an afternoon stroll before stopping in at a cafe for a pick-me-up. Home truths: *There's no lift, so it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility *At capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area *A cot is available on request *There's no door separating the second bedroom from its en-suite shower *There isn't enough seating around the table to accommodate all guests *Given its central location, you may hear some street noise *The kitchenette is compact and best suited to light bites *There's no desk, but the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace *The building's entrance is communal *24/7 guest support and a concierge service are available *We recommend skipping the car and exploring Paris on foot or by public transport
